Same here - butt going on the grill at 8am. It is sitting in brine right now. Got a bunch of hickory chunks ready to go.

It is for a Boston Butt

I was referencing the general practice of using foil, especially with ribs. Guess I didn't make that clear.

I dont wrap it tight in foil, its to keep the towel clean

These ribs are awesomer, the meat falls off the bone

Maybe, but that aint Q

I wouldn't go so far as to say it ain't Q. Just not good Q.

Falling off, or being able to pull it off? I think if you can pull the meat off the bone with your fingers, which many would consider falling off the bone, then that is good BBQ, at least IMHO.

Wrapping it tight in foil to get it that way is kind of cheating, but unless you're in the BBQ Olympics, I'm not going to fault you for it, I just try to get there with a smoker and low heat.

I've used foil to keep some of the smoke and soot off of the meat, especially in wood fired, home made smokers, but I didn't wrap it tight. Still, if it tastes good ...
